Shot #27 is incredibly beautiful and a really fine example of photography.

Just saw this photo now, deyana -- it is indeed a thrill every year when the new leaves finally begin to appear. Luckily, we already had that a month ago in Paris. But the leaves here begin to fall a month earlier than a lot of places, too.

This massive tree had just gone down in a storm the night before I arrived in NY at my mother's house.

casi, you would think a tree that large would lift a whole section of the yard when it went over - its roots must have been very rotten.
Looks like a silver maple, which are kind of weak in my experience.

To you too, Imec! It feels so good to be Canadian. And yes, leaves are allowed, I'd say so.

p.s. a special thread about Canada day on sunnyds.

The green leaves are lovely, Imec, but that second picture is really special.

Rikita, something about your photo just says "Iberian Peninsula"!

Love your tree, rikita -- it has almost a swirling sense to it and the bark texture is beautiful.

That pattern of blue sky behind the dark branches and light flowers is outstanding, Dahuffy

I've never seen cactus that big before. Astonishing. Are those local plants?

I took this shot last summer. Just before we returned this summer, a rainstorm destroyed this old oak.
The weight of water on its leaves pulled it apart at the fork where its heart had rotted.
A few days later the sawyers came to take it down. Now there is nothing there but an empty gravel planter bed.

If that's a photo from last winter, that's probably when bixaorellana was in Oklahoma!

Because of the relentless Mistral wind of Provence, every single tree in this part of France is off center.

These are probably all whitebark pines, an important food source for grizzly bears. About 75% of them have died in recent years, from white pine blister rust, or bark beetles.
